Re: Interior styles
It was a bit before my time, but I always got the vibe that the diamond tuck began cut the Kustoms of the 1960's and eventually worked its way into the modern cars of the day.
I personally never accepted it as Day2 mod for muscle cars. For me in popular applications it went form the 1960's vintage Kustoms, skipped over the muscle cars and was embraced by the Van guys of the 1970's. I didn't live it and Don did. Don, I like the Chevelle over all but the interior just isn't my taste. I have seen a mild diamond pattern used on the old FG race seats someone was asking about a day or so ago, but it was much more conservative looking.

Re: Interior styles
When I look at that Chevelle interior it just floods my mind with memories of running around in the sun with my bare feet, and not a care in the world.
All while my Dad was laying the Turtle Wax onto whatever car he had at the time. I can still get the smell of those cars in my nose sometimes. Makes me miss the him. He would finish up and take us out for a Sunday ride after listening to the race on the old AM. I thought the diamond tuck was the coolest thing to sit on at the time.
